SET
Commands coach
As the guard crosses mid-court,
Arm raised, two fingers out.
Two, he yells, running the offense.
Forward cuts to the high post.
Center drops down the paint.
The ball passes left,
Reverse, swing it round.
Shuffle, step, pick is set.
Turn, bounce pass…..
IT,
However, had started on day one
When coach called all to the base line,
Running passing drills, lay-ups,
Conditioning with sprints.
Then it became the go to play,
The bread and butter routine,
Going for the bucket.
Only here, it varies with
Three on the clock, down by one.
UP
Goes the ball,
From the fingertips with patience
To the hoop with urgency;
A title on the line.
A touch on the glass,
Held breath, roll on the rim,
A cheer from the crowd.
Completes the play that took a season.
